Canon EF-S 24mm f/2.8 STM 'Pancake' lens

I picked up one of these, along with a new Canon DSLR, not so long ago.
It was the lens, actually, that got me back into a DSLR. I had sold my
previous Canon DSLR because I was tired of its bulk and weight. The
"pancake" lens makes taking photos with a "real" camera a delight again.
Not expensive, either.

I keep thinking I want one but I fear it will always be in the car
when I see the coolest thing. I carry a pocket camera with a 115mm
lens just about all the time when I am away from home but I am not
sure I want to commit to anything bigger. The Lumix I have closes up
to 25mm thick (about an inch) and in that state is sealed up pretty
well so the lens is protected and clean.
